A haven for luxury lovers, Monaco is replete with designer stores. The best from the world of couture, perfume, jewellery, all find their way on to the high streets of Monaco. As a shopper you are spoilt for choice here.

Shopping perhaps is the biggest past time for the Monacian. With no dearth of wealth to splurge and world’s best stores to splurge it in, Monaco is a dream to shop at. The Métropole shopping complex at 17 Avenue des Spélugues with its huge chandeliers and chic boutiques and epicurean treats such as truffles at Comtesse du Barry, is one of the most majestic places to shop in Monaco.

While Monaco's Grand Prix happens in summer, the souvenirs from the official shop of the Automobile Club de Monaco can be bought at any time. Some stores also sell genuine parts from the cars themselves, and then there is the F1 artwork for those who prefer subtle luxury. If you, however, prefer practical aspects of shopping, Fontvieille Shopping Centre with its music, furniture and apparel stores and restaurants, hypermarket and even a McDonalds is for you.
